Is Wano’s Komurasaki Actually Kozuki Hiyori – Momonosuke’s Sister [MANGA SPOILERS]

One Piece recently released chapter 973, titled “The Kozuki Clan,” which wraps up many plot points about the Wano-arc. This chapter most likely is the last chapter regarding the Kozuki Oden flashback. This implies that One Piece will continue the storyline in the present timeline, starting chapter 974, which will be released on March 15.

Chapter 973 shows how Hiyori transitioned from an orphan on the run to the most beautiful courtesan of Wano – Komurasaki. Shortly after running away from Kawamatsu, she crosses paths with Kyoshiro, who helped her establish a new identity to protect her.

After Oden and Toki’s death, Kawamatsu protected Hiyori all by himself for quite some time. However, in the harsh conditions of Wano under Orochi’s rule, he was not able to secure daily food for both of them.

To keep Hiyori safe and sound, he would give up all of his food with the excuse of having eaten before or not being hungry.

Hiyori soon caught on and realized that Kawamatsu would perish if this kept going on. To reduce the burden on Kawamatsu, she ran away.

Soon, she was found and taken to Orochi’s castle as a lost child, where she found Kyoshiro. Kyoshiro revealed to Hiyori that he is actually Denjiro and asked her to take on the name of Komurasaki to keep herself safe. He mentored and nurtured her to what she became in the current story.

About One Piece:

One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997, and has been collected into 95 tankōbon volumes.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!

Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. With his diverse crew joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
